Mini-golf is supposed to be a happy place, or at least it was before the government shutdown. I’m sure the ‘rona regulations take away some of the fun.
Wear a mask when you walk in that you can take off as you’re golfing but have to put back on as you walk to the next hole where you can take it off again. You know, super serious sciency things to prevent the spread of germs. What also takes away some of the fun is when a riot breaks out, as happened recently at a putt-putt in Memphis.
According to reports, Police officers responded to a call for service over reports of chaos breaking out after several different parents left upwards of 300 to 400 children at the facility, who began destroying the joint.
The staff told cops the sheer number of people put them in violation of local COVID-19 regulations, but that was the least of their worries based on this video.
The riotous scene at Putt-Putt Fun Center, at Golf and Games Family Park in Memphis, was caught on camera by an alarmed bystander and shows the violent teens go berserk and throw various heavy objects at staff because they didn’t issue the kids a refund.
The video — which went viral on Twitter — focuses primarily on one young girl, who helped kick off the stampede when she shoved a Plexiglas screen from the counter, causing it to cave in on staffers as they hid behind ATM machines in fear.
She then proceeds to throw two more Plexiglas partitions and rips out a computer screen before moving to heavier, more dangerous objects, like metal retractable belt barriers.
The teen is seen hurling the metal pole across the counter while a blood-curdling scream echoes throughout the space. Others joined in the tormenting by flinging napkin holders at the workers.
The girl then picks up another belt barrier to toss before exiting the camera frame.
There are also reports of someone setting off fireworks, which … who brings fireworks with them to mini-golf?
None of this answers the big question on everyone’s minds of how exactly 300-400 children all happened to be dropped off on the same night. Like, this didn’t seem to be one of the organized riots that are planned by the Democrat Party. Hundreds of parents all deciding to leave their kids to their own devices in the same place seems odd. Maybe their parents just wanted to get them out of the house to get some peace and quiet for a change.
